	Oven bags are made from Nylon, or some form of polyimide, as far as I know. Not sure about that temperature. Maybe you should google.

	Actual it depends on the manufacture. Reynolds makes theirs from a heat resistant nylon. __________________ Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty, pristine body but rather to come sliding in sideways, all used up and exclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!"

	I would never believe polyester or nylon could resist that temp and being enough safe for cocking so must be much superior than we find for engineering purposes?
